It is not in anyway historically accurate. The Labor Day hurricane of 1935 definitely hit the FL Keys. There is an amazing often overlooked Art Deco coquina rock memorial to the victims in a mass grave on Marathon Key. FDR- on a BS trip with his Flagler pals, gave a cursory photo op stop, and B/W photos of him there at the memorial. Full of himself as usual.
The list of hurricanes on wikipedia is better than this clown posting. 1935 the worst up until Andrew and then Katrina. Andrew blew an employee’s house right off the foundation into the Everglades outside Kendall, FL. They had left. Same thing with family in Katrina at Pass Christian, MS, which took their truck into the swamps 5 miles inland.
“It is not in anyway historically accurate. The Labor Day hurricane of 1935 definitely hit the FL Keys.”
Right! Not to mention the great hurricane of 1937 (Catherine Hepburn was in it).
And my mom talked about Hurricane Donna in 1960 and there was a big one in the 50’s (can’t remember the name).
It's late August 2023 and this is the first hurricane to hit this hurricane season.
I lived through "tropical storm" Agnes in 72, and there was major damage, and that was mid-june 1972.
I spent two weeks helping clean that town up.
I was stationed in Biloxi at the time.
How about the one that destroyed Galveston in the early 1900s?
I think the Galveston storm of 1900 was the worse Atlantic storm in terms of lives lost, between 6000 and 12000
